Dawson Turns 12!!!

Dawson has a great sense of humor and remembers lots of useless facts just like his dad. In fact, he is a miniature James in every way. He has become James' new TV watching partner because somehow he remembers stupid references from old episodes or other movies...even from when he was super little. Crazy!
He is also our little mischievous one--always teasing and sneaking around, trying to hang out with the older kids, stirring things up a bit. He's a great example to his little brother and they go everywhere together--kind of a package deal. He's so funny! He set his alarm for 12:21 am (the exact time he was born) just so he would know the exact moment he turned 12! Of course, because he is our night (or early morning) owl, he was still awake anyway. That's Dawson for you.
Happy Birthday Da-Da! We love you!

For his and Kade's birthday dinner we went to Ruby River as a family Friday night. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he said $$$!

Tanner's Mission Begins

Tanner's "unofficial mission farewell" was on Sunday Jan. 30, 2011. His talk was amazing. We had lots of friends and family there to show their support for him. We had an open-house afterwards at my mom's with lots of food. Tanner was officially set apart as a missionary on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011. He entered the MTC on Feb. 2, 2011 after a tearful goodbye.
